Continuous rainfall over the past three days has inundated more than a hundred homes in Eidgaon upazila of Cox’s Bazar, leaving over twenty villages waterlogged. Poor drainage has worsened the situation, while heavy downpours have raised fears of landslides and bridge collapses in several areas, including key roads and residential zones. Local residents warned that without prompt administrative action, lives could be at risk.
Union Parishad chairmen from Eidgaon, Jalalabad, Islampur, Islamabad, and Pokkhali reported widespread flooding, with some areas facing severe waterlogging and erosion threats. The Himchhari Bridge on the Eidgaon–Eidgar–Baishari road, a vital link for around two lakh people, has developed a large cavity due to hill runoff, prompting fears of a total collapse. Local officials confirmed awareness of the issue and said emergency measures were underway.
The upazila administration stated that while water has receded in some areas, drainage work continues in others. Concerned citizens urged swift action to prevent waterborne diseases such as diarrhea and dengue if stagnant water persists.
